“Might want to consider comin’ back down,” Kristi’s voice crackled over the speaker phone, interrupted by bursts of static.

“Don’t worry, tough guy,” Cara said, her mouth curled in an exquisite sneer. “I’m sure us losers can think of something for you to do around the camp grounds to make up the extra credit. We do have a few horses in the stable, after all, and their stalls need cleaning, regularly.”
